Middle East

The main question we consider in this course is which forces and what developments transformed this region from a relatively peaceful area to a radicalized environment and a source for opposition against the “West.” By exploring critical political, social, intellectual and economic themes such as colonialism, Arab nationalism, secular modernism, the impact of Zionism, military conflict, the rise of political Islam, the status of women, and the oil revolution, we will identify the main internal and external forces that shaped the region during the last century. As this is a Humanities course, we will delve into the diverse but interrelated subjects of the region’s politics, history, geography, literature, and even a bit of its languages, with the intent that this will provide us insight into the culture writ large. Instructor: Renfro Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 12:30-1:45; SAB 134 Fulfills: LAC requirement 2B.

Introduction to Public Administration

Public Administration is both a field of study and a field of practice, so in this course we cover both. Rather than focusing on the big political questions of the world (though those DO come up), we will concentrate on how the government actually works. How do unelected government workers--bureaucrats--influence policy? How do the laws passed by elected officials actually enter the lives of ordinary Americans? And further, what are the different ways that we can organize and manage these areas to make government work most effectively? This course will expose students to the lesser-known parts of government, giving them working knowledge of the pieces involved in government administration. It will also improve their analytical thinking skills, as we break down various administrative theories and apply each to real-world situations. Instructor: Neiman Meeting Time/Location: T/Th 12:30-1:45; TBA Fulfills: Elective requirement in Political Science major. Required for Public Administration major.

American State Politics

Why study state and local governments? There are roughly 88,000 distinct units of state and local government in the U.S. and they have a greater impact on personal lives then the federal government. Unfortunately, despite their influence on our day-to-day lives, these units of government do not attract the same interest that is given to the national government. As a result, voter turnout for state and local elections is meager, state and local political parties are poorly organized and only about half the states have competitive elections (they are essentially a one party state). In this class, the goal is to introduce the students to 50 of these local units (the states) with a primary focus on the impact that these units of government have on individual lives.

Constitutional Law

The most basic function of a constitution is to arrange the structure of government by establishing governing institutions and enumerating their powers and limitations. In this course, we will trace how the structure of American government and the allocation of power between its governing institutions, both within the federal government and between the federal government and the states, has changed over time. Our emphasis in this course will be on the role of courts, particularly the U.S. Supreme Court, in shaping this constitutional development. However, students will be encouraged to recognize that constitutional change is the result of a broader political process that the courts participate in but do not control. Major topics of study will include the origins of the Constitution, the propriety and practice of judicial review, the separation of powers between federal institutions, the scope of federal power, and the balance of power between the federal government and state governments. This course will help students to develop critical legal reasoning skills, as well as familiarize students with contemporary constitutional debates.

Public Organizations

The U.S. government is made up of a large, complex web of organizations. Through much of history, the study of these organizations has treated them as pretty similar to private organizations, however this may not be the case. In this class we will focus on the theory and behavior of public organizations in four areas: 1) Organizational design 2) Individuals in public organizations, 3) Public organizations in the political environment, and 4) Interorganization relations. Students will strengthen their writing skills, as they analyze the content and rigorously apply it to case studies and current events. They will come out of the course with a fuller understanding of the institutions, actors, and dynamics in public organizations.

Political Communication

Communication is central to democratic politics, from candidates marketing themselves to voters to presidents speaking on behalf of their policies to the press reporting on events and personalities of the political world. Political Communication examines a variety of communication topics in both historical and contemporary American politics. Fundamental questions include How do elites present information, strategically and otherwise to the public? How do the mass media portray the political world? How does information shape the beliefs of the public? and How have technological developments changed political communication?

Public Policy Process

How is policy made? The policy process is a multistage cycle consisting of pre-decision activities (problem identification, agenda setting and policy formulation); decision (policy adoption) and post-decision processes (implementation, evaluation and policy changes). The stages do not flow neatly from one stage to another instead the process is messy with stages that overlap. In this class, we will explore this process through examining the impact of political actors, political institutions (including federalism, “checks and balances” and “separation of power”) as well as other factors. In addition, we consider how and why their influences vary across different policy arenas.

Analyzing Politics

aei.org

What do political scientists understand about politics and world affairs that others don’t and how do they know it? In this highly collaborative and interactive course, you will learn how to study politics—how to ask good questions and how to design research to find their answers. I believe that the best way to accomplish this is to actually do political science. There will be minimal lecturing. Instead, you’ll be in the driver’s seat, applying these newfound research skills to discover more about questions that interest you. You’ll work together with your classmates to form mini “think tanks” to investigate areas of common interest. Within these think tanks, you’ll get feedback from one another and work together to further your research. This course will meet in the CAT Classroom (http://www.uni.edu/provost/cetl/cat-classroom) which will facilitate the collaborative nature of the course.

Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Political Science

What does this graph mean? Political science, is, by definition, a science and as such is based on empirical research. But how do we know if the data we are being told about is an appropriate representation of reality? The purpose of this course is to give students the necessary tools to study politics using quantitative methodology. Emphasis will be placed on the use of quantitative estimation techniques commonly used by political scientists but which are also applicable to all aspects of social behavior. Students will get hands on training in collecting and analyzing data using statistical software, and come away from the course with a solid foundation for analyzing and interpreting the findings of others. By the end of the class, students should be able to interpret the accompanying graph without much hesitation and in a manner that is useful for non-political science majors.

Senior Seminar: Reforming the Republic

Blitt, Barry. Illustration for The New Yorker. Available: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/12/09/our-broken-constitution

When was the last time you heard someone complain about government in the United States? Did that complaint involve criticism of the Constitution? Likely, it did not. If Americans seem to hate politics, why does that feeling not extend to the Constitution that structures the governmental system at the federal level? In this course we will explore what political science has to say about reforms (both institutional and policy related) from both a normative and empirical perspective. As a class, we will decide on the specific topics of interest to be examined. The semester will culminate with students writing a research paper about a potential reform of their choosing. Research papers will be presented to the class.
